J. Warner Wallace

Jim is concurrently a detective (working cold case homicides), a missions leader and a church planter. His background was originally in design (earning a BFA from California State University at Long Beach and a Master’s in Architecture from UCLA), but he has been a police officer and detective for the past 23 years. Jim wasn’t raised as a Christian. In fact, he was a conscientious and vocal atheist until his mid thirties, and always considered himself to be an “evidentialist.” His experience in law enforcement only served to strengthen his conviction that truth is tied directly to evidence; when Jim took his first serious and expansive look at the evidence for the Christian Worldview, he realized that Christianity was demonstrably true. After becoming a Christ follower in 1996, Jim took an evidential approach to truth and applied it to the Christian worldview. He eventually earned a Master’s Degree in Theology from Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary and built the PleaseConvinceMe.com website, blog and podcast. Jim’s diverse experiences have provided him with some unique opportunities to examine the logical conclusions and practical realities of the “secular world view” and compare these to the blessings of Biblical Christianity. These comparisons often take the form of observations and evidences that are similar to the evidences one might offer in front of a jury. Jim is married (to the love of his life since 1979) and has four children. He is the primary author of the PleaseConvinceMe Article Archive and the host of the PleaseConvinceMe Podcast.

Andy and Nancy love serving in missions, Apologetics and the church. Thus far in their married life they have traveled and served in over 30 countries. Not only did they learn a lot about each other through those adventures but about people and God. In fact, Andy feels that much of his education in apologetics has been learned through ministry and travel. That all said, the most important thing in Andy’s life is his relationship with Jesus Christ. At age 17 he stopped fighting his belief in God and began to seek out who this God is. A short time later, he found Jesus Christ and has enjoyed the adventure ever since. Andy founded Apologetics Canada on September 1st, 2010.
